Restrictive smoking laws keep most pipe guys at home but check out the local shops that have a lounge. It will probably be mostly cigar smokers but that's ok with me. I would get a hold Gary Malmburg of eBay's The Second Hand Smoker about the Sacramento Pipe Club. I don't know how active they are but it would be a chance to get together. http://stores.ebay.com/secondhandsmokesestatepipes/pages/sacramento-pipe-collectors-assembly
